reword as I can't find any evidence of modern-day use of the spelling "Chepying"; remove unwanted links in a dab article
'''Chipping''' is a prefix used in a number of place names in England, probably derived from ''ceapen'', an Old English word meaning 'market', though the meaning may alternatively come from (or via) the Medieval English word ''chepynge'' with a more specific meaning of 'long market square'. It was sometimes historically spelt as '''Chepying'''.

'''Chipping''' can also refer to:
* [[chip tuning]] a car's ECU system
* installing a [[modchip]] into a game console
* using a [[woodchipper]]
* being a [[chipper (tobacco)]], or other occasional drugs user. For this reason it has come to mean [[insufflation|insufflating]] i.e. a heroin user who insufflates rather than injects.
